gphoto install

[Net Llama!]

I'm not at all sure what you're doing wrong, but its got to be huge.

I just downloaded the gphoto tarball, and read INSTALL without a hitch.
There is no mention *anywhere* of a 'install-sh' file.  You build gphoto
like most other software:
./configure
make
make install

so where did you get the idea that you were supposed to run install-sh??
